Men Don't Play with Dolls

Men Don't Play with Dolls on PhotoPeach  --- Or do they?

When you choose an object that has special meaning to you, your stories write themselves!



These events were the inspiration for:
What is the story ‘really’ about? – The Message/The Realization?

Being a father is so much more than the title, “daddy”.  The realization that the most important gift a parent can give is 'time' suddenly became so clear.  The bond a parent builds with a child is formed through thousands of tiny moments spent together. Moments build memories and those memories build a connection and that connection lasts a  lifetime.

Remember: Your message is COMPLETELY different to the actual event in your story.

H/W - Finish writing down your ideas in the different sections. Remember - You will shuffle around these sections for your finished draft.
